Hello,
I need a bit of help.
I have a study - Large Volume Trade Indicator Large Volume Trade Indicator
It works as intended and displays the bubbles when a larger trade occurs, my issue is, sometimes Im away from pc and I would like an audio signal as well.

Can you please guide me in the right direction on what to add in the Alerts tab (alert condition) in order to trigger an audio alert every time the bubble appears on chart?
Thank you!

There is not a way to do this. The data from the Large Volume Trade Indicator is not accessible through Alert Formulas.

However, it is accessible through ACSIL:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.p_VolumeLevelAtPriceForBars

So you can create a custom study to use this data:

Thanks, I thought there's an easier way, like in a one liner in the alert condition tab.
It's not that important, thank you for letting me know it requires further coding.

Have a great day/night.

Although the specific values are not available on a per price basis, if you are using one of the following options for the Draw Mode then you can use the simple alerts:
- Based on Total Volume Above Threshold
- Based on Max Volume Above Threshold

In these cases, the subgraphs for "Max Trade Volume for Bar" and "Total Trade Volume for Bar" have the information related to the Large Volume indicators. Therefore, you could create an alert for the first time an item shows in a bar by setting the following alert formula:
=ID1.SG1

Where ID1 is the ID of your Large Volume Threshold Study and SG1 is the "Max Trade Volume For Bar" subgraph.

You would also want to enable the option for "Reset Alert Condition for New Bar" or you will only get 1 alert and no more.
